NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The New Germany Fund, Inc. (NYSE: GF) (the 'Fund') announced today the results of its Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 30, 2025.
The nominees for election as directors of the Fund had not received sufficient votes to be elected. Therefore, the meeting was adjourned to July 18, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time at the offices of DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc., 875 Third Avenue, New York, NY in order to allow more time to solicit proxies.

Important Information
The Fund is diversified and primarily focuses its investments in Germany, thereby increasing its vulnerability to developments in that country. Investing in foreign securities, particularly of emerging markets, presents certain risks, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic changes, and market risks. Any fund that concentrates in a particular segment of the market or a particular geographical region will generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly.
Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of the fund's shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the fund. Therefore, the fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset value.
War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises and related geopolitical events have led, and, in the future, may lead to significant disruptions in US and world economies and markets, which may lead to increased market volatility and may have significant adverse effects on the funds and their investments.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of such state or jurisdiction.
Certain statements contained in this release may be forward-looking in nature. These include all statements relating to plans, expectations, and other statements that are not historical facts and typically use words like 'expect,' 'anticipate,' 'believe,' 'intend,' and similar expressions. Such statements represent management's current beliefs, based upon information available at the time the statements are made, with regard to the matters addressed. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such statements. Management does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements: (i) the effects of adverse changes in market and economic conditions; (ii) legal and regulatory developments; and (iii) other additional risks and uncertainties, including public health crises, war, terrorism, trade disputes and related geopolitical events.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Jim Cramer on Chevron: 'The Group is Just Not in Good Shape'
Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) is one of the 11 stocks that Jim Cramer recently commented on. In response to a caller's inquiry about the company, Cramer commented: 'Okay, I'll tell you how I feel about the oil business. I don't like it, but I do like the dividends. Because of the dividends, I'm willing to bless them. But if they didn't have good dividends, believe me, I wouldn't go near the group because I think that the group is just not in good shape.' An aerial view of an oil rig at sea, the sun glinting off its structure. Chevron (NYSE:CVX) is involved in integrated energy and chemical operations, including the exploration, production, processing, and transportation of oil and gas, the development of liquefied natural gas, carbon capture initiatives, refining, and the manufacturing and marketing of fuels, petrochemicals, and related products. The company returned $6.9 billion in cash to shareholders during the first quarter, including $3.0 billion paid in dividends. Chevron (NYSE:CVX) declared a quarterly dividend of $1.71 per share, which was distributed on June 10. The stock has a yield of 4.76%. Additionally, on May 28, Cramer stated: 'Okay, I think that you have to have a view on oil when you think about this one…. And I think that first, I think oil's going lower. I think it goes to the 50s. I think it's part of the president's plan to be able to reduce the inflation rate. However, it does yield 5%. I don't want to reach for yield. I never want to just say, you know what, I'll take the 5% and not worry about the common stock. You are going to wait till this stock at 136 goes to 130 before you pull the trigger and not until then.'

NBA free agency opens after waves of player movement in recent days
The Houston Rockets continued their offseason improvements Monday, adding veteran forward Dorian Finney-Smith on a four-year, $53 million deal shortly after the NBA's free agency window officially opened. ESPN first reported the deal, and a person with knowledge of the agreement confirmed the terms to The Associated Press. Houston becomes Finney-Smith's fourth team after stints with Dallas, Brooklyn and the Los Angeles Lakers. He'll be added to a Rockets club that earlier this summer landed Kevin Durant in a blockbuster trade with Phoenix, though that deal cannot receive formal approval from the NBA until next week. Finney-Smith averaged 8.7 points and was a 41% shooter from 3-point range this past season. The NBA's free agency period officially opened at 6 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, but in actuality, was rolling long before that. LeBron James has already opted in to a $52.6 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers for this coming season, the Rockets traded for Durant — not a free agency move, obviously — and the Los Angeles Clippers saw James Harden decline his option in return for a new deal and a raise. There was even a surprise addition to free agency, with Portland announcing it has bought out the contract of former No. 1 pick Deandre Ayton — making him able to sign with any team he chooses. And on Monday, even before the shopping window officially started, more deals: Nicolas Batum will come back to the Clippers, his agency said, on a two-year deal, while Joe Ingles agreed to return to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Deals like those could get done before the official start time because teams are allowed to negotiate with their own free agents once the NBA Finals are finished. Salary cap set The NBA announced Monday that it has set the salary cap for the coming season at $154.647 million, the maximum allowed 10% increase over the level for this past season. The tax level for the 2025-26 season is $187.895 million, the league said. What's already happened — Julius Randle returns to Timberwolves — Bobby Portis staying with Bucks — Duncan Robinson terminates contract with Heat, may return — Kyrie Irving staying with Mavericks What's next In very specific situations, teams can announce signings when completed. But in most situations, and this even applies to some draft-related trades (such as the one involving Durant going to Houston), teams won't be able to announce those until at least July 6. ___ AP NBA:
